I The Road to Somewhere.
It tries to explain the rise of populisim perticluarly in
While I don't agree with everything in the book, it is pretty interesting.
It works hard to avoid blaming the affluent (and never saying rich like it's a four letter word).
But even while not saying the quite part out loud, it implies that both rich liberals and conservative are leaving the young and the poor behind. Which historically has not had the best results.

Oooh, tough choice, but more likely I kidnapped myself so I could meet one of them... but I still can't choose just one 😂

Although that wasn't asked, now that I think about it, I enjoy reading about them but there aren't many of my favourite characters I'd really want to hang out with. Granny's just someone who's radar it's better not to be on at all. Vimes would probably be a real downer. The sweeper is just going to be taking enigmatically and giving out tests (annoying).

I think only Angua and Nanny Ogg, maybe Cohen.

Can I have some fleeting passions with a somewhat changeable base of continuity? Please, and thank you... 😂

I've often googled words for thingie things, the rest of the stuff I just make up when I physically manifest the void... 😜

Reader/writer question: In fiction what are some of your favorite worldbuilding details, the kind of thing you think is underused and underrated?

Cats and books go together like something else that goes well with things.
I couldn't think of a simile okay? But you get what I mean 😆

This book has been on my TBR-list for a long time, but it just jumped to the top! 😂

I think the worst thing about writing is that I don't enjoy reading the way I used to. You should never see how the sausage is made 😁
